3 cups sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup water
3 cups raw peanuts
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking soda
PREPARATION:
Butter 2 long pieces of foil and have them ready on the counter top or on large baking sheets. Combine sugar, syrup, and water in heavy 5 to 6-quart pan. With pan over medium heat, stir until sugar melts; add peanuts. Leave on medium heat and stir occasionally. Continue to cook and stir until candy thermometer reaches 300°, the hard crack stage. Syrup will be golden and peanuts will pop. Remove from heat and add the butter, salt, and soda, stirring well. Candy will foam from the soda. Pour candy on the prepared foil. Pour candy quickly and stretch, using forks or hands, when cool enough. Cool completely and break into pieces.

Answer 4

Let me refer you to Martha Stewart she has a great peanut brittle recipe. I've made it many times. It is really easy and if you feel adventuresome you can add any kind of nuts, coconuts, I've even add cayenne pepper to it. It was slightly spicy, good eating. What I love most about peanut brittle is its sweet and mildly salty taste.
